Animation issues With Game Character

Question

Wondering if anyone can help me with this one...I have exported a skinned mesh character into unity and when i play his animations, he shrinks and snaps back to 0,0,0 position. So i put an empty game object on him so it can play its animation where i want it to play. That works and all but how do i get the character controller to work on a parented Game Character? I put the character controller on the game character and nothing happens. I have terrain collider in position for the game character to fall on and nothing happens. Can anyone please help me???

I think what you want to do is to add the character controller on the empty gameobject and create a variable that holds the character mesh. After this create a function that play the animations, something like this:

//This is the character var Character : GameObject;

 // In the update function add the AnimateCharacter function 
 function Update(){

 AnimateCharacter();
 }


 //This is the function that crossfade the animations
 function AnimateCharacter(){
     if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") || Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")){
     Character.animation.CrossFade("walk");

 }else{
     Character.animation.CrossFade("idle");
     }
 }

EDIT private var motor : CharacterMotor; var Character : GameObject;

// Use this for initialization function Awake () { Character.animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop; motor = GetComponent(CharacterMotor); }

// Update is called once per frame function Update () { // Get the input vector from kayboard or analog stick var directionVector = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));

 if (directionVector != Vector3.zero) {
    // Get the length of the directon vector and then normalize it
    // Dividing by the length is cheaper than normalizing when we already have the length anyway
    var directionLength = directionVector.magnitude;
    directionVector = directionVector / directionLength;

    // Make sure the length is no bigger than 1
    directionLength = Mathf.Min(1, directionLength);

    // Make the input vector more sensitive towards the extremes and less sensitive in the middle
    // This makes it easier to control slow speeds when using analog sticks
    directionLength = directionLength * directionLength;

    // Multiply the normalized direction vector by the modified length
    directionVector = directionVector * directionLength;
 }

 // Apply the direction to the CharacterMotor
 motor.inputMoveDirection = transform.rotation * directionVector;
 motor.inputJump = Input.GetButton("Jump");


 AnimateCharacter();

// Require a character controller to be attached to the same game object @script RequireComponent (CharacterMotor) @script AddComponentMenu ("Character/FPS Input Controller")

function AnimateCharacter(){ if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") && Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")){ Character.animation.CrossFade("Run");

}else{ Character.animation.CrossFade("idle");

}
